  • Tyre sizes please ?

    If I have front 18" wheels with an offset of 32 does anyone know what size extra load tyre I can get please ? I'm running 245x45x18 and it's catching the arch. It's probably really simple but so am I
    Thanks.
    Kev.

      Sorry I should have said. It's stock that's what I can't understand.

        Offset is quite low (meaning it'll stick out more...), coupled with a fairly wide tyre... I find even 8x18" with an ET of 35 poke a little too much. What width are your wheels? 👍

        Wheel or tyre question? Just ask, it's what i do!

          Thanks. Fronts are 8.1/2 I'm also thinking that perhaps I need to stiffen up the shocks.

            You could try a narrower front tyre... 235/45r18?

                  What load rating do you need? 225/45R18 95 xl has a max recommended rim size of 8.5j, and has the same outer dia as stock,

                    Yep, but quite a drop from 245/45r18... I run 225/45 front 245/40 back. But I'm not coach-built like the OP. ☺
